From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Richard Stallman has cancer (lemmy.ndlug.org)

From his website stallman.org:

Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19.

Recent video of him speaking at GNU 40 Hacker Meeting. Screenshots of video stream.

what how is this racist

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you really need an explanation as to how telling someone to kill themselves, then calling them the N-word, is racist?

did i miss a comment here, or was it edited? because i cannot find that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are you seeing? Because I'm still seeing their comment of "Kill yourself [N-word]" plain as day.

pictured: a comment, a reply 'retard', and then you replying to that. im on jerboa+sh.itjust.works, it may be showing the wrong comment on my end, idk.

(as described above)

Ohhh! This is what I'm seeing (TW: racism) . I'm on Kbin.social.

I did have a reply on the r-word comment but it was very different to this. Might be a bug in one or both of our software.
